Sujet: Re:heres another stupid Labour idea

Snoopy: I know it sounds stupid, and the possibility of fraud is a concern of those who have interest in kids having computer access (teachers associations and the like) .. but kids these days do need access to the net for their homework. It's not about whether you've got a job or not, as those on low incomes have problems affording a computer.

They calculated on a basis of those that have a PC or not that about 1 billion pounds is the cost to families in this country per year in not having access (about £500 per household) through not being able to surf for better deals on the likes of insurance, etc.

e-skills UK, the employer-led Sector Skills Council for IT and Telecoms.. recon that investment in IT skills and tech, etc.. including school kids being computer literate could generate an extra £35 billion pounds for the UK economy over the next decade.

If not vouchers, then some scheme must be set up so kids have access after school close to home to the net in order to be able to do their homework to the standards expected today. As I assure you... the homework ain't like we use to get!!
